Why do gentiles using the name Jesus which has no meaning in English or in any other language except for Hail Zeus and not using the original name of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah?
Is it because it has to do with the jewishnes of Yeshua?
Please let me know.
Origin name of Jesus and why not the original name?
In Bible times, the name Jesus may have been pronounced Yeshua or possibly Yehoshua—no one can say for certain. Yet, people the world over today use different forms of the name Jesus, pronouncing it in the way that is common in their language. They do not hesitate to use the name just because they do not know its first-century pronunciation. Similarly, if you were to travel to a foreign land, you might well find that your own name sounds quite different in another tongue.
When the accounts of his life were written in the Greek language, the inspired writers did not try to preserve that original Hebrew pronunciation. Rather, they rendered the name in Greek, I·e·sous′. Today, it is rendered differently according to the language of the reader of the Bible. Spanish Bible readers encounter Jesús (pronounced Hes·soos′). Italians spell it Gesù (pronounced Djay·zoo′). And Germans spell it Jesus (pronounced Yay′soos).
Must we stop using the name of Jesus because most of us, or even all of us, do not really know its original pronunciation? So far, no translator has suggested this. We like to use the name, for it identifies the beloved Son of God, Jesus Christ, who gave his lifeblood for us. Would it be showing honor to Jesus to remove all mention of his name in the Bible and replace it with a mere title like “Teacher,” or “Mediator”? Of course not! We can relate to Jesus when we use his name the way it is commonly pronounced in our language.
Reply:Yehoshua means 'the Lord saves', and is translated into English as Joshua.
Jesus' Hebrew name is Yeshua, which is a shortened version of Yehoshua. Yeshua means 'he will save'.
Yeshua translated into Greek is Iesous.
Iesous transliterated into Latin is Jesu.
Jesu became Jesus in English.
Nice try, dude. I would like to say first of all that you calling me a "Gentile" because I call my Lord and Saviour "Jesus", is blasphemous and disrespectful to me personally. You also gave incorrect information about the "hail zeus". What is up with that? That seems blasphemous as well. 'Do not judge others, lest you be judged'. 'Do not take the Lord's name in vain' (no matter what language it is in). These principles are taught to us by Jesus Himself. And I will call my Master by the name He is given in the Holy Bible - Jesus Christ. How do you know that Yeshua is the original name for Jesus? Is it because you read it on this website? Even if it is, I don't follow man-made rules or religious practices or rituals. You can have your "religion". I certainly will NOT allow any person in this world to dictate how I should be speaking. Get a life.
Reply:Jesus comes from Yeshua which comes from Yawweh which comes from YWHW which is just a tetragramation for the word "God". These four letters are usually transliterated from Hebrew as IHVH in Latin, JHWH in German, French and Dutch, and YHWH in English. This was variously rendered as "Yahweh" or "Jehovah", since in Latin there was no distinct lettering to distinguish 'Y' from 'J', or 'W' from 'V', and the Hebrew does not clearly indicate the omitted vowels. In English translations, it is often rendered in small capital letters as "the LORD", following Jewish tradition which reads the word as "Adonai" ("Lord") out of respect for the name of God and the commandment not to take the name of God in vain. The word "haŠem" 'the Name' is also used in Jewish contexts; in Samaritan, "Šemå" is the normal substitution.
Jesus never really even existed.
Reply:It is from the English translation of the Greek translation of His Hebrew name, if that makes any sense to you.
Ἰησοῦς
Iēsous
ee-ay-sooce'
Of Hebrew origin [H3091]; Jesus (that is, Jehoshua), the name of our Lord and two (three) other Israelites: - Jesus.
יהושׁע יהושׁוּע
yehôshûa‛ yehôshûa‛
yeh-ho-shoo'-ah, yeh-ho-shoo'-ah
From H3068 and H3467; Jehovah-saved; Jehoshua (that is, Joshua), the Jewish leader: - Jehoshua, Jehoshuah, Joshua. Compare H1954, H3442.
My own name comes directly from the Hebrew and means loving.
דּויד דּוד
dâvid dâvîyd
daw-veed', daw-veed'
Reply:The original name would be Yehowshuwa. You are close to the truth with the Zeus part Je-Zeus. There were no J in use before the 1500"s
It is a plan to miss lead the masses, into worshiping a false god.
The Almighty's name is Yehowah
Reply:You can call Him Yeshua or Yehoshua or Yeshohoshoshua. What ever turns your crank. I call Him Daddy or Father. But I guess unless you're part of the Forever Family of God, you should use His official Name, whatever you think that may be.
By the way, I don't know WHAT hat you pull your rabbits out of, but "Jesus" is NOT "hail zeus" That's a straw man argument if I ever saw one!
His Hebrew name was, in fact, Yeshua, which is translated to Joshua.
The Greek rendition of His Hebrew name was Iesus, which is translated to Jesus.
Do YOU use YOUR hebrew name? Or do you go around talking to everybody and addressing them in Hebrew? Then why not use the language you live with and speak in? Why do you play the hypocrite by claiming to change languages when it suits you?
("BAH! HUMBUG!" to you!)
Reply:Hebrew: Yehoshua
Aramaic: Yeshua
Greek: Iesous
English: Jesus
It's just different transliterations.
I'd like to see the etymology that you claim that Jesus means "Hail Zeus". I know I've never heard that before.
Reply:I don't know the origins, but I'm quite certain that Christians wanted very strongly to separate Jesus from his Jewish origins, to completely separate Christianity from Judaism. So the name Jesus has served them very well.
Reply:yeshua or yehoshua either are sometimes used, Yeshua is translated as lesous in Greek and from Lesous we get Jesus
Reply:What's in a name?
A name is an identifier. To Christians there is no association to Zeus, or any other being, so it really doesn't matter.
Reply:U have your believe in it that's more then enough why r u worried about the name ha............
Reply:its the english version...dont sweat it..
